I've been watching Season 5 of Angel, and this came up in one of the episodes. Apparently, this was an actual argument the writers of the show had, and I was wonder how you all stand on the subject. So, discuss!

Oh, the Astronauts don't have weapons, if that makes a difference.

I say Astronauts. They've got higher reasoning, capable of planning strategy.

Caveman.
Cavemen know how to survive on their own. They know how to kill, and will not hesitate to.
Astronauts do not necessarily have any fighting skills at all. Sure they are more evolved and might know different ways to kill someone, but if there's no weapons, I'd say the caveman wins.

Feh! All the Astronauts have to do is make some fire and the Cavemen will all be like "Ooo! Spaceman make fire! Fire bad!"

It's not the same at all. Cavemen and Astronauts are both human, more or less. It's kind of an even playing field. Claiming Batman can beat Kryptonians, Amazons, and people with magic rings is preposterous.

Whether I have or haven't is not the issue. What is is who would win- Cavemen or Astronauts.

Yes, I saw your argument, but you fail to take into account tha astronauts would be in better shape, most likely, than the cavemen.

Bull fucking shit.
The caveman would be in better shape because he has to be. All cavemen did all day was hunt for food. Astronauts are in good physical condition, but not as good as the caveman.

Okay...so why do the cavement have weapons and not the astronauts?
It seems like the hypothetical is skewed towards the cavemen.

I would rule that if the astronauts don't have weapons, then neither do the cavemen, unless of course the astronauts are wearing their spacesuits, which could frighten the cavemen into submission.

True. I think it was either Clarke or Sagan who said that any technology advanced enough to be inexplicable to a civilization would be indistinguishable from magic.
